[MysteRy]

Be strong! We are not here to play to dream to drift; We have hard work to do and loads to lift; Shun not the struggle-face it; 'tis God's gift.

[MysteRy]

Be on the lookout for mercies. The more we look for them the more of them we will see.... Better to loose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles.

[MysteRy]

Business is religion and religion is business. The man who does not make a business of his religion has a religious life of no force and the man who does not make a religion of his business has a business life of no character.

[MysteRy]

Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. ... To face every opportunity of life thoughtfully and ask its meaning bravely and earnestly is the only way to meet supreme opportunities when they come whether open-faced or disguised.
